In a significant anti-drug operation, police in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district seized a car loaded with ganja that had reportedly been abandoned by suspected drug traffickers in the Goudagaon area under Jasipur police station limits.
The vehicle was discovered near a cremation ground, where it had allegedly remained parked for nearly three days before drawing attention. Acting on information and suspicion surrounding the unattended vehicle, police conducted an inspection and recovered a large quantity of ganja from inside the car.
